having a front frame (1) and a floor frame (3) joined together
by a curved portion (2) provided along a toe board (6), the front
frame (1) extending in a forward direction from the curved

Abstract: An optical disk recording apparatus operates on an
optical disk having circular tracks which are provisionally
written with an index signal used for securing a constant
linear velocity of the optical disk from an innermost
circular track to an outermost circular track, and records
data along the circular tracks at different linear densities
on different annular zones of the optical disk. In the
apparatus, a disk drive section rotates the optical disk
while synchronizing the index signal successively read from
the rotated optical disk with a predetermined reference clock
signal to thereby maintain the constant linear velocity of
the circular tracks. A clock generating section multiples or
divides the reference clock signal by different rates to
generate different writing clock signals in correspondence to
the different annular zones of the optical disk. A data
recording section operates in synchronization to the
different writing clock signals for recording data along the
circular tracks at the different linear densities on the
different annular zones.

Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Durchleuchtung von Objekten. 
     Bei bekannten Vorrichtungen (1) sind zwei Strahlenquellen (10,20) in Transportrichtung
der Transporteinrichtung (3) unterhalb rechts und links sowie eine dritte Strahlenquelle
(30) horizontal zur Transporteinrichtung (3) angeordnet, wobei zwei Strahlenquellen
(10,20) in Nähe hintereinander liegend angebracht sind. Diesen Strahlenquellen
(10,20,30) gegenüberliegend sind drei Detektoranordnungen (11,14,31) zugeordnet. Dadurch
wird ein sogenanntes Multi-View aus drei Strahlrichtungen geschaffen, wobei die
Strahlengänge (FX1.1, FX2.2, FX3) senkrecht zur Transportrichtung verlaufen. 
     Hiergegen sieht die vorliegende Lösung vor, daß sich unterschiedliche Strahlengänge
(FX1.1, FX1.2, FX2.1, FX2.2, FX3) kreuzen, so daß nicht mehr jeder Strahlengang senkrecht
zur Transportrichtung verläuft. Dies hat den Vorteil, daß die Vorrichtung platzsparend
aufgebaut werden kann. In einer besonderen Ausführung wird mit Hilfe von drei
Strahlenquellen (10, 20, 30) und fünf Detektoranordnungen (11, 12, 21, 22, 31) innerhalb
einer Vorrichtung (1) ein zu durchleuchtendes Objekt (4) aus fünf unterschiedlichen
Strahlrichtungen während des Transportes durch den Durchleuchtungsbereich (5) durchleuchtet
und dabei gleichzeitig ein quasi 3-D (dreidimensionales) Modell (6) des Objektes
(4) erzeugt. Dazu sind zwei der Detektoranordnungen (12,21) ineinander winkelversetzt
angeordnet, die auf entsprechende Strahlen (FX1.2, FX2.1) der Strahlenquellen
(10,20) ausgerichtet sind. Mit Hilfe der dabei gewonnenen Signale kann neben der Absorptionsrate
auch die Dicke bzw. das Volumen und daraus die Dichte der im Objekt (4)
befindlichen Gegenstände (4.1) ermittelt werden. Aus der Absorptionsrate und der Dichte
kann dann die Materialart, der im Objekt (4) befindlichen und gerade durchleuchteten Gegenstände
(4.1) exakt bestimmt werden.

Abstract: A method for determining stiffness of a composite laminate plate (10)
entails disposing a device (18) for generating an acoustical pulse against a surface of the
plate and disposing a detecting device (20) against the same surface spaced a known
distance (d) from the pulse-generating device, and using the pulse-generating device to
emit a pulse so as to create an extensional wave in the plate. The detecting device is
used to determine a time of flight of the wave over the known distance, and the wave
velocity is calculated. A Young's modulus of the plate is determined based on the
wave velocity. Methods for both anisotropic and quasi-isotropic laminates are
disclosed.

Abstract: A transmitter terminal in an ultra-long haul optical
transmission system receives separate channel input signals in
separate ones of a plurality of return-to-zero transmitters
(RZTX). Each RZTX generates a corresponding forward error
correction (FEC) modulated output signal in a separate channel
frequency sub-band including predetermined channel separations
from adjacent channel frequency bands. A multiplexing
arrangement multiplexes the plurality of channel frequency bands
from the RZTXs into separate groups of frequency bands. The
groups of frequency bands have predetermined band-gap separations
therebetween, and each group of frequency bands has a
predetermined separate pre-chirp introduced therein before being
multiplexed with all other groups of frequency bands into a
single multiplexed output signal. An optical transmission line
(OTL) is subdivided into predetermined sections and receives the
single multiplexed output signal. A separate Raman amplifier
(RA) is located in each separate section of the OTL for providing
backward distributed Raman amplification. A dispersion
compensating line amplifier (DCLA) is located in predetermined
space-apart sections of the OTL for introducing dispersion
compensation for the single multiplexed output signal and each of
the groups of frequency bands therein.

Abstract: 1. The Natural Decor System consists in the insertion of a decorum of any form and size,
constituted by organic and inorganic elements (as flowers, vegetables, shells...)
conglobated and crystallized, under empty space, in a proper resin made of trivalent
polyester or in an acrylic or epoxidic resin that is furnished with a characteristic
transparence, into previously cut tiles of any size, thickness and dimensions, realized in 
         2. firing or in porcelain enamelled sandstone or in wood.
The fixing system of the natural decorum to the lying below tile can be realized by means of
a net in paper and in glass fabric with siliconic or under heat glue put on the back of the tile
or by means of a simple sticking between the side surface of the element in resin and the
side surface of the cavity realized on the tile. 
         3. Such a fixing can include a further phase of decorative and fixative plastering on the
visible side of the tile.
The Natural Decor can be applied also on tiles with two coloured faces because the
enclosed element, on account of its characteristic transparence, is readable on both of the
sides. 
         4. In case of a one face application on a traditional tile, Natural Decor can be coloured on
one side with every kind of paint in order to reach the chromatic coupling with the surface
of the bearing tile.

Abstract: A method for treatment of neurodegenerative disease conditions stemming from
multiple sclerosis, aging, autoimmune diseases and fibromyalgia. A compound
effective to increase neuronal metabolism of histamine to a histamine H 2  agonist is
administered in an amount sufficient to stimulate production of cyclic AMP at a level
which is sufficient to maintain myelin against undergoing self-degeneration. The
compound is selected from the group consisting of histamine M-methyltransferase,
monoamineoxidase-A, monoamineoxidase-A agonists and histamine H 3  antagonists.
The histamine M-methyltransferase may be administered to increase neuronal
metabolism of histamine to tele-methylhistamine, whereas the monoamineoxidase-A or
monoamineoxidase-A agonist may be administered so as to increase neuronal
metabolism of telemethylhistamine to an H 2  agonist. Separately or in conjunction with
the others, the histamine H 3  antagonist may be administered so as to inhibit metabolism
of the telemethylhistamine to an H 3  agonist, thereby increasing metabolism of the
telemethylhistamine to an H 2  agonist. The increased histamine H 2  agonist levels reduce
demyelination and the symptoms that are associated with these conditions.
